About

Dr. Yao Chung Chang is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, affective computing, and healthcare technology, with a focused expertise in leveraging IoT and thermal imaging for behavioral health diagnostics. His major contributions center on developing data fusion frameworks that integrate thermal image analysis with Internet of Things (IoT) devices to objectively recognize and quantify emotional states in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). By combining physiological and visual data, Dr. Chang’s work enables non-invasive, real-time emotion detection—a critical advancement for early intervention and personalized treatment. His most cited paper, "Data fusion analysis for ADHD emotion recognition with thermal image and IoT devices" (2020, 18 citations), demonstrates the feasibility of using multimodal sensing to decode complex behavioral symptoms. A subsequent study, "Improvement of ADHD Behaviors with AI Perception Technology" (2020, 9 citations), extends this work by applying AI perception to directly improve behavioral outcomes. Dr. Chang’s research not only bridges engineering and clinical psychology but also paves the way for scalable, home-based monitoring systems, offering transformative potential for millions affected by neurodevelopmental disorders.
